Congratulations
Dr. Hartery!
Dr. Hartery!

Hartery, AC's Archaeologist extraordinaire, successfully defended her
thesis on May 3!
Her thesis entitled Middle Dorset Paleoeskimo
Warm Season Adaptations in Newfoundland and Labrador assesses the
cultural change that occurred when these ancient people moved into
Newfoundland, from their former Arctic homeland, 1900 years ago. Once
thought to mostly rely on seals, she was able to show that their economy
expanded to include an incredible variety of birds such as cormorants
and the great auk, a plethora of plants not available in the Arctic, as
well significant amounts of caribou, beavers, hares, black bears,
wolves, fish (even tuna) and shellfish!
Her dissertation was
called "ground breaking'' as well as "a manuscript which will be
considered a classic for future researchers" by her defense committee
who gave her the highest pass-level possible for Ph.D.'s granted by the
University of Calgary.
Way to go Latonia!
